Asked about the feud as she announced her departure, Anne said: "They're brilliant - both of them actually.
"Every time I'm astonished how she [Rachel] does that adding up and subtracting - just seconds, absolutely seconds, amazing." But she added later: "I hope I'm always described as difficult, awkward, tricky, impatient, menopausal, any sort of pejorative, grumpy."The former Weakest Link host took over from Nick Hewer in June.
Rachel said of her arrival: "She found her feet very quickly and soon made the show her own. She’s comfortable bantering with the contestants. "She’s called out some comedians and you can tell they’re up for a fight. They come in with their lines prepared. She’s not known for suffering fools gladly."
